Professional Car Valeting vs Hand Car Wash
A hand car wash is primarily a quick way to clean the exterior of a vehicle, with some offering basic interior cleaning as an additional service. Professional valeting is a more thorough process, covering the vehicle in greater detail and allowing more time to deal with areas that a quick wash may not address. The difference is less about simply getting the car clean and more about the level of work involved in doing it.
A More Considered Cleaning Process
At Vos Detailing, the products and techniques used are chosen with the vehicle and its surfaces in mind. Particular attention is paid to areas such as the wheels, paintwork, trim, glass and interior materials rather than working through every vehicle as quickly as possible. This also helps reduce unnecessary contact with the paintwork and the risk of introducing marks through poor washing methods.
Choosing the Level of Care You Need
A quick hand wash may be sufficient when convenience is the main priority, but professional valeting is better suited to owners looking for a more complete standard of cleaning and ongoing vehicle care. Our packages range from regular maintenance for cars already kept in good condition through to general-use valets and deeper cleaning for dirtier vehicles, with our detailing services available when the car requires more specialist paintwork or protection.
Pricing
Here are the services we provide. Prices listed are for small/medium vehicles where large and XL vehicles or above incur a small further charge to cover labour and product expenses.

It depends on the package, vehicle size and condition. A maintenance valet is quicker than a deep interior and exterior reset; the expected times are detailed on the detailing services price list above, and will be confirmed when booking.
